Phillies (Painter) vs Twins (Kremer): 08/16/26, 1:10 PM

[Patzky]

Could have given Kremer a little time to freshen up huh? 

[S Bart]

Chatty Morny...

[RpR]

As often as Keaschall has been caught stealing , here of late, I think he is showing his hand or the opposition has better catchers than we do.

🕯️ ⚾ 

Tommy John innings pitched after surgery: 2544.2
Tommy John innings pitched before surgery: 2165.2

Active leaders in innings pitched: 

1. Justin Verlander: 3571.1
2. Max Scherzer: 3004.0
3. Chris Sale: 2213.0
4. Jose Quintana: 2141.

I also like how his baseball-reference.com page says: "1975  Did not play - Eponymous Surgical Procedure." 

The big brick building in Cooperstown says, "National Hall of FAME," not "National Hall of Best Players." In my mind, TJ was close enough to making it as a player that the TJS puts him over the top for inclusion.

1st inning Patience pays off -  2nd inning  6 pitches ,  please explain

everyone knew he was running there ,  needs to be more selective

[S Bart]

Every new player...Audra announces that he has been such a good influence...

Since we have no high leverage guys rested let's get a ten run lead and go with Adams

How about a 20 run lead and go with Rogers.

[Danchat]

Keaschall really is a butcher in the field...

[Aggies7]

Another misplay by Luke 

[LewFordLives]

I don't want to see Keaschall in the field anymore. 

[Recognize]

"Hard" read hahaha. Misread

Can someone explain to me why the Twins received one?

Fully agree. HOF..besides the surgery...an underwear company was named after him. His Wikipedia page is full of highlights.

Thank you. I was just going to ask if that was an odd hit or Keaschall is a not good Right Fielder.

[Aggies7]

He challenged wtf

He is a complete liability. His bat isn't good enough to paper over his inability to play any position.

He’s going to make a great DH someday though!

[S Bart]

Certainly have had a change in aces for the moment.....started with Lopez...Ryan...Bradley...now Kremer

[RpR]

Putting Keaschall at DH and Bell at First would be less a liability than leaving Keaschall in the outfield.

not ever gonna D.H.   what would you do ?

[Patzky]

Excellent DeKreming effort.

Why don’t you think he’d DH?

The scales are still balancing on that.

He has been our best hitter for the last month and a half.  And he has played 19 games in RF.  Maybe show some patience because we are going to win more games with Luke in the lineup than without.

That's as bad as saying prospects 

[RpR]

This shows why the Twins keep  players with good gloves but not so good bats; without them they would not have defense needed to win close games.

Oh wait I shouldn't say anything might get warned for "trolling"
